Metal Pushbutton - Latching (16mm, Green)

COM-11973

Description: This is a perfect choice if you are in need of a heavy duty push button! These metal push buttons are a very tough, small, panel-mount latching switch with an illuminated green LED ring. It is a SPDT with 16mm threading and 1mm pitch. This button is perfect for basic On/Off functions. Overall length (including leads) is 1.5" and has small solder lugs for connection. These latched buttons are rated up to 3A and 250VAC while the LED is rated for 5V.

You should be able to use the switch ‘as is’ - the LED is actually on the two outer pins, separate from the switch pins. You can’t hook up 12V to the LED pins, you’ll want to drop that down to 5V or ~18mA (a sibling product comment noted “On a bench supply, these red ones draw about 17mA at 5V”).
